I have a phone interview coming up for a "Software test engineer" role at Google and am wondering what to expect. I have 2 years of test engineer experience + 5 years of software development at Qualcomm.
I thought Google no longer had those.
My recruiter used the words "Test engineer" and "Software test engineer", assured me that it won't involve manual testing, and that there is typically 30 to 70 percent coding on the job
Expect: - coding question (data structures & algorithms) - open ended testing question on some scenario / software design.
Are the coding questions of same standard as SWE interviews or easier?
Depends on the interviewer. During the phone screen it will be done by a TE at Google and the questions will more than likely be a little easier than a SWE question but you also have to do well on the test question. If you make it through the phone screen your on-site loop will have some SWEs who will ask you SWE level coding questions
I can confirm this title still exists. I talked with a recruiter recently about a job titled "Controls Test Engineer" I don't believe this is a formal QA role through.
There will be one LC easy (or somewhere between easy and medium). And questions on test methodology like given a scenario how would you test something. Try to make maximum test coverage including edge ones.

Why would u wanna go from software dev to test engineer. QC isn’t that bad at all. It’s a pretty good company
I'm just really not liking my role currently, and maybe the stress of software dev in general. Hoping for less anxiety filled work days even if it means more manual work
there is nothing wrong in going from dev to testing 🤦🏻♂️ are you saying dev’s have some sort of ego over their equally smart DVT colleagues ?
